Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in multiple locations. There is evidence of light wear and smudging along the edges and at the corners of the sheet, likely inherent to the artist’s working method. The surface texture and scattered pigment losses to the text are inherent to the artist's working method. The corners of the sheet are lifting slightly and there is a soft undulation throughout the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
